454 Pulleys
I have to buy a set of pulleys for a 454 I'm building. Stupid question but......... Are the Merc 454's just Chevy's short water pump set?

I have stock aluminum pulleys and replaced my waterpump with aluminum as well. Yes, it is the short pump. Was looking into converting to serpentine though - looks like it needs a reverse rotation pump for that.

What is all required to convert to a serpentine set-up? The aftermarket kits are ridiculously expensive (around $1,000). Are their regular car parts that can be used to make the swap?

$320 bones and you can have billet cog pulleys. I am thinking this is a even better than serpentine! Just the 1" though, 2" and people would want to see the blowers that don't exist...

How do you turn the raw water pump? Don't see a pulley for that on the site or different length belts to accommodate one.
